Hi Tim,

I am using a Sony A6000. I connect the iPad to the camera via wifi and have the live view option toggled on before taking picture. I tried restarting app and also updated camera firmware and it still does not show live view before snapping picture.

After updating the firmware did you also update the smart remote app? It isnt updated with the firmware. Instructions here: https://wifibooth.com/article/connectbuiltin-sony/

I did not update the smart remote app. I updated it and live view before snapping pictures works. Thank you!

Hi cmphoto
Please carefully follow the instructions to update the "smart remote embedded" app on your camera. This is NOT the same as updating the firmware
